| description | Umbrella for Go work across repos. Carries Kai's defaults (Go 1.22+, urfave/cli over cobra/kong, Charm stack for TUI, slog for logging) so agents inherit them before reaching for generic Go. |

coding-go
Umbrella for any Go work.
Triggers
go, golang, .go, go.mod, go.sum, gopls, urfave, cobra, kong, charm, bubbletea, lipgloss, gum, glow, slog, gofmt, goroutine, channel.
Defaults
- Version: Go 1.22+ unless project pins lower.
- Modules: always. No GOPATH-era patterns.
- CLI framework:
urfave/cli first (Kai is a maintainer), cobra/kong only if a project already commits to them. See kai-tech-prefs (in agentic-os-kai).
- TUI: Charm stack (bubbletea, lipgloss, gum, glow, huh). Same skill prefs.
- Logging:
log/slog stdlib. Structured, leveled.
- Tests: stdlib
testing. Reach for testify only when assertions get repetitive.
- Lint:
golangci-lint.
Style
- Errors are values. Wrap with
fmt.Errorf("context: %w", err). Don't swallow.
- Small interfaces. Define at the consumer, not the producer.
- No god structs. If a struct has fields for two concerns, split.
- Avoid
init() for anything besides flag/format registration.
context.Context first parameter on any I/O-bound function.
When this skill is active
Editing or writing Go. Inherit Kai's defaults before reaching for general Go patterns.
